I was inspired by looking and listening to what the city's inhabitants are "writing" as they walk the streets and public spaces; making, breaking, negotiating the rules of language and behavior. They walk alone, in pairs, or in groups that come between each other, meet, and split. I recorded these crossing spaces, imagining the high contrast of bright winter light and dark shadows as close in spirit to black text on a white surface.

The biggest challenge in crafting the piece was coming up with a concept that was not interactive and did not require me to perform it--I hardly ever do video, this might even be the first video I've shot myself. This is a first version, I intend to make another with audio.
